ABOUT BABIES.
Some OIservatIon. by am Unmarried Man.

Some Observations by AN Unmarried Man.
The baby, according to my observation,
Is III almost all climates and ut all sea-
sons OF the year, nocturnal in its habits.
1t Is also durnal good share OF the
time; but this. of course, is q fact not
worth mentioning.
Unliiie the young Of most other species,
the baby does not recognize any parental
distinctions. but will lament as bitterly
while riding on the palernal arm Mt the
wheeling hour OF midnight us when
clasped tenderly to the mothers bosom
1t sunny midday. Its sole creed and
tngnagc is cry; and no Christian or
'oathen ever lived up to n creed with
norr conscientious fidelity than does
he hahy.
